In today’s world, borrowing and lending are common practices. Whether it’s sugar that runs out at home or thread for sewing, we often take things for free or on loan, knowingly or unknowingly. However, according to Vastu Shastra, taking certain items for free can lead to financial and personal difficulties. If you want to avoid financial troubles, here are some items you should never accept for free:
1. Needles
As per religious beliefs, you should never accept sewing needles for free or use someone else’s needle. It is believed that doing so can bring discord and negative energy into your home.
2. Mustard Oil
Sometimes, while cooking, we run out of oil and borrow it from neighbors. According to Vastu Shastra, mustard oil symbolizes prosperity. Taking or giving mustard oil for free can negatively affect your financial situation.
3. Salt
Never accept salt for free from anyone. Religious beliefs associate salt with the planet Saturn (Shani). If you are ever forced to borrow salt, ensure you give something in return. Accepting salt for free may bring challenges related to health and wealth.
4. Iron
Iron is also linked with the planet Saturn (Shani) in Vastu Shastra. It is advised not to accept iron items for free, as this can lead to mounting debts. It may also cause disturbances in the family and physical health problems.
5. Wallets
Friends often gift or lend wallets as a gesture of goodwill. However, Vastu Shastra warns against accepting wallets for free, even as gifts. It is believed that when you give or receive a wallet, your financial luck may transfer to the other person.
